'Free Radio,' VH1's New Improvised Comedy Stars Lance Krall Premieres Friday, February 8 With Back-to-Back Episodes Starting at 9:30 PM*

Series Features Special Appearances by Kiefer Sutherland, Ray Romano, Tony Shalhoub, Fred Willard and Many More

Catch A Sneak Peek Of The Premiere Episode On VH1.com Beginning Friday, February 1

NEW YORK, Jan. 30 -- How does a dim-witted intern become a radio superstar? Find out as VH1's new improvised comedy series, "Free Radio," chronicles the Cinderella story of Lance, a radio show intern, who answers his call to greatness by jumping in to host a popular morning show, when the real host defects to satellite radio. Lance's hosting effort (full of botched celebrity interviews, on-air tantrums and all around buffoonery) is so spectacularly awful that ratings actually go up.

In addition to the rise of our hero, Lance, (played by Lance Krall of "The Joe Schmo Show" and "The Lance Krall Show") "Free Radio" follows the dysfunctional staff at KBOM, as they try to adjust to life with their new unlikely star. From the frustrated station manager, James (played by Brian Huskey) to co-host, Anna, (played by Anna Vocino), they all put up with Lance for the sake of ratings, dubbing his new show, "Moron in the Morning."

The half-hour series, "Free Radio" premieres with back-to-back episodes Friday, February 8 starting at 9:30 PM*. As an improvised comedy, it offers a fresh alternative to the typical sitcom, showing just how far real A-List celebrities will go to tolerate a complete moron. Celebrity guests from film, television, music and stage join Lance in his booth to promote their latest projects and endure Lance's clueless questions and oblivious take on the world. Hollywood luminaries from "24's" Kiefer Sutherland to three-time Emmy Award winner Tony Shalhoub ("Monk") to "Jack Coleman ("Heroes") and Ray Romano, are subjected to the idiot storm that is Lance and "Moron in the Morning." While runaway celebrity interviews make up the bulk of the show, "Free Radio" also goes behind the scenes to depict our loveably dim hero's struggle to deal with his newfound fame and earn the respect of his co- workers.

Catch a special sneak peak of episode one on VH1.com beginning Friday, February 1 -- eight days before the on-air premiere. VH1.com will be home to exclusive video content throughout the season. Additional episodes will be available on VH1.com the night following each episode's on-air premiere. VH1 Mobile will also offer select "Free Radio" video throughout the season.
